Solar and storage prices will rise 9% in Q4 2025 as China cuts production and ends export tax rebates, Wood Mackenzie says.
Solar and storage prices are about to rise after a year and a half of record lows, according to new data from Wood Mackenzie. Equipment procurement costs for solar and energy storage will jump around 9% starting in Q4 2025, marking the end of the bargain pricing developers have enjoyed for the last.
China has launched in earnest the drive to curb excess capacity in the solar manufacturing sector, which has doomed many companies to price wars and deepening losses. The combined losses of six of China’s biggest solar panel and cell manufacturers doubled in the first half of 2025, to $2.8 billion.
The relentless capacity buildup, which the International Energy Agency (IEA) says accounts for 75-95% of the global solar production capacity, is expected to exacerbate the supply glut and drag prices across the solar supply chain down as more capacities are added in 2024. In 2023, China produced.
